We Blameless Fools

Gambling Hearts

By Daniel ColePublished 9 years ago 1 min read

Damn them that curse love

Was it love that turned infatuation

to flattery?

That blinded sight

to perfection

beyond the surface of all

that remains

true

Love cast the net

it does not set

the trap

A harvester

to gather the seed

of those truly worthy

ready for its

divine

preparation

It liberates

from the mire

that differentiates

no man

Free to pursue

that which our eyes envy

and lust

but once escaped

the game is ours to win

or lose

love poems

About the Creator

Daniel Cole

Author and artist, I'm finding my spirit again late in life. Old passions for poetry borne of love, loss, hope and pain, things with which everyone is familiar.
